I've seen a lot of discussion on this topic on the forum and through searches. It'd be a good FAQ topic. (ran some word searches on the faq page and found nothing for 'compressor' or airbrush.'
Anyway, I'm considering getting an airbrush. If I did my research right, all I need is a standard
air tank and an
air reg./moisture trap. Is that correct? If the fitting from the reg. to the tank didn't fit correctly, I'm sure Sears, The Home Depot or my local hardware store will have something to fit.
If all this is correct, would you folks recommend a five gallon tank? I read somewhere that 'two gallons worth' will get you a model and cleanup. If that is the case I'd spring for a ~10 gallon.
Just an FYI, my father owns a convenience store two miles away from our house with an air compressor for filling tires. Also, our company has a compressor at our plant/facility. I could find a way to tap into that, I'm sure. A
personal compressor for this application is not necessary.
Oh yeah.. this is my first post! Thanks for any info.

Oh yes. I almost forgot. Would anyone recommend a particular reg./trap? Also, despite the gauge on the reg. listed going up to 60psi, I'm assuming it'll withstand 135psi+. Is that correct?
